Sticks and STONES may break your bones!!! BUT......(and a few other things)

KIDNEY STONES WILL HURT YOU!!!!

So last Thursday I had a doc appt. and she sent me for a cat scan!! And yes I have not one but two kidney stones!! Why leave one out? LOL

I believe they are starting to move and I will be getting rid of them soon!! YAY!!

I am on a lot of pain meds and that is helping!! Good news was that I didn't need surgery to break them up!! Yay!!

This is a cool old chalkboard Sim and I found on the way home from my cat scan in the garbage along a side street!! Why not stop even if you are in pain!! You find cool things!! The "Relax" sign came from my Secret Sister from church !! Isn't it cool!!

This is my new swing Sim got for me for my birthday!! We were due for one and he found this one at Lowe's. He knew I would love the colors!! And I do and if you look you can see on the left side there my clothes line pole matches!! I had Sim paint them last year a barn red!! I am diggin it so much!! Excuse the mess of all of my rusty gigs there. Spring has just begun here in Michigan and we are just now getting rid of that blasted nasty sn-irt!! Oh my gosh we walked around the back fence line last night it looks like a battle zone out there from the ice storm back in December!! We have so much to clean up and trees to trim and cut. But what cha gonna do!! Main thing we are all ok and blessed.

And here is another gift from Sim. It's a cool basket that someone up cycled. I think I might put linens in it that I use to create with. It has wire around it. Not a very good pic but wanted to show it to you.

I just wanted to brag a bit!! Kaitlin goes to the University of Connecticut!! How cool is that they have been winning and playing in the final game!! YAY go Huskies!! This is a sticker she got me for Christmas. She got me and her Dad one. She's so sweet! But I really do miss her!!

Ok I am showing this to you to make myself make it!! LOL I tried to draw out a pretty sheep cuz it seems to me that all of my stuff turns out cutesy and whimsical which is ok cuz I guess that is my gig. But I had this pretty sheep in my head. Well after I drew it out and cut it out it looked liked a monkey. Brooke has been asking me to make a sock monkey cuz she loves them. But I don't want to!! LOL Anyways I was gonna make it but I was talking to Kaitlin and she said a monkey doesn't live on a farm. She was right I usually try to keep with Funky Farm House style!! LOL In this pic the black is a CROW!!! I have this ideal now going around in my head for a CROW!! So I am making myself make this!! LOL So no monkey but I must finish this CROW!! Kaitlin said I need to try to make a COW!! But the CROW came up in my head first!! LOL

About Me

Hi guys!! I am a Funky Farm House lovin kinda gal! I am also an up cycle artist who loves taking rusty and vintage junque and making it into cool and unique items. I hand sew all my creations. I love estate, yard, garage, church sales, and thrift stores!! I also gather rusty junque and nature things on my walks or in my yard. I have my own style and my family and friends call it Fran-Style!! My favorite colors are orange and brown. I drive a orange car. I drink a lot of coffee and I also use it to grubby up my creations. I am blonde and flighty and it has followed me all of my life!! It may take me a minute to get things!! But I eventually do!! Laughing at myself is one of my favorite things to do besides creating!! I call our home "The Funky Farmhouse" cuz believe me it can get alittle bit funky and wild n crazy around here!! I am married to my best friend Sim. I love making new friends here on my blog with kindred spirits!! Thanks for stoppin by my lil corner of the world!! XOXO Love ya Fran.
